                             ORDER


   Adopted:  September 22, 1999         Released:  September 22, 1999

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.   On December 13, 1994, Radiofone, Inc, (Radiofone) filed a request to rescind (Request) the
grant of a license that was awarded to Paging Partners, LP (Paging Partners) on August 1, 1994 by the Land
Mobile Branch (Branch) of the Private Radio Bureau.  The Branch's decision authorized Paging Partners to
use frequency 929.6375 under call sign WPFM632 in Fredericksburg, VA.  An opposition to Radiofone's
Request was filed by Paging Partners on December 29, 1994, and a response to Paging Partners' opposition
was filed by Radiofone on January 10, 1995.  For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss the Request filed
by Radiofone because it was not timely filed.

     2.   While Radiofone characterizes its December 13, 1994 pleading as a request that the
Commission rescind its grant of the 900 MHz carrier paging license awarded to Paging Partners, we find that
Radiofone is effectively seeking reconsideration of the Branch's August 1, 1994 decision.  Section 405(a) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended provides that "a petition for reconsideration must be filed within
thirty days from the date upon which public notice is given of the order, decision, report, or action complained
of."  The deadline for filing a petition for reconsideration of the Branch's decision, therefore, was August 31,
1994.  Because Radiofone filed its Request on December 13, 1994, we dismiss the Request as untimely filed. 
   

     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to authority delegated by sections 4(i) and 405
of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 405, and by sections 0.331 and 1.106 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.3331, 1.106, the request to rescind the grant of a 900 MHz Private Carrier
Paging License, filed by Radiofone, Inc. on December 13, 1994, IS DISMISSED.
